Laser Range Sensor / TOF10120 / Arduino

This video will describe how to interface a Time Of Flight laser range sensor to an Arduino Nano. Serial UART and I2C ports of the sensor will be covered.
Distance measurement values are read directly from the sensor's ports.

I like that you're using forth to control your nano. Pretty much the ideal tech stack for this kind of thing.

Thank you so much for this video. As a true novice, I appreciate this type of explanation.

What is the smallest amount of measurement it can sense? 1mm, 1cm, 6 inches? Thanks!

[diamony]

I want to make one from scratch. I question these cheap tof. Would love to see you use different color objects to determine whether it's pure tof or intensity driven.

[Junkski]

Whats the precision and max reading frequency?

[larrybud]

Did you ever do some objective testing of the accuracy (measuring a known distance vs what the sensor is reporting?)

[ryuukl]

Hi, can this sensor able to detect behind a meterial, eg transparent plastic or glass

[hullinstruments]

I left a long comment on your “troubleshooting circuits” video. I apologize for the length but I didn’t know how to send you a direct message.

I'm guessing some materials might be difficult to detect depending on composition and the angle of incidence. Good presentation. looks simple enough. Do they all come set to the same address?

[salahai]

hi, thanks for your video also it will be good if you provide schematic and project code

[camsmart]

What type of range finder would work best if mounted on a moving object? Such as a bike.

Nice vid. Could you check if this sensor can detect the surface of water and as water rises the distance becomes shorter? Thx in advance.

[AmitThakorlovemeorhateme]

is there any tiny sensor that measure the displacement/distance travelled in millimeter, just like how the mouse optical sensor works but tiny module.?

I am looking for sensor having upto 50 micrometer resolution and same accuracy, please suggest me that can be interfaced with arduino!

[greengiant]

Thanks for your video. I tried connecting to my serial port using Tera Term, but it just reads out a string that I do not understand. Here is an example Do you have any advice?

[KevoSmitherino]

thank you for this video! I am looking for a similar sensor that can provide distance of up to 150 meters. Do you know if something like this is available?

[lakshmiv]

Can I interface this with a pic microcontroller? Also, will it penetrate water(can it be used to measure the distance under water)?

[sayantanmaiti]

What did you infer? Is this works better than the ultrasonic sensor???

[TubeSwarn]

Can this sensor measure water level if I point the sensor to a bucket of water?

Hi,
I want to detect thin (light can pass through it)line in piece of clothe
Which sensor would be perfect for that
I used ldr sensor but i get problems while detecting white colour clothe
